The History and Adventures of Little Henry, Exemplified in a Series of Figures. London : Printed for S. and J. Fuller at the Temple of Fancy, Rathbone Place, 1810.
Henry, carelessly left by his nursery-maid, is stolen away by a gipsey -- Henry becomes a beggar boy -- He is cruelly sold to a chimney sweeper -- He runs away from his hard task master, and becomes a drummer -- He quits the drum for a ship of war, and becomes a sailor -- He obtains by his spirit the rank of midshipman -- He performs prodigies of bravery to the admiration of the whole crew.
